James Moir was born in Leeds and began to find fame as a comedian, actor and artist in London from the mid-1980s, where he began performing under various character guises - the most successful of which was north-east entertainer Vic Reeves - in the alternative comedy club scene. He soon began performing with regular audience member Bob Mortimer, and the pair established a comedy act together, achieving cult national television success in the early 1990s.
